SUPER BOWL LI PARTIES IN THE TWIN CITIES

Skip the hassle of cooking and post-game cleanup, and catch the big game at these Super Bowl parties around the Twin Cities.

*Cue Fox’s NFL music*
In just a few days time, our nation’s most popular sport will culminate in 60 minutes of game time, the most expensive Doritos and Budweiser commercials you’ll ever see, a confetti shower and a reporter asking the game’s MVP as he's surrounded with microphones and flashing lights, “What are you going to do now?” with an answer of “I'm going to Disney World!” accompanied by an enthusiastic and smile-filled shout in what’s known as Super Bowl LI. All around the country people will be traveling to parties hosted by their friends and families to collectively devour truckloads of guacamole, chicken wings, chili and other game-day favorites as they cheer on the Atlanta Falcons or the New England Patriots (sorry Vikings fans, maybe next year, but probably not). But for those looking to save themselves the hassle of cooking and post-game cleanup while they’re in a nacho and pizza—or nacho-pizza—coma, these Twin Cities bars have all the ingredients needed for a mega-sized Super Bowl party.
